SAP Project Manager - EPI-USE Labs GmbH : Job Details

EPI-USE Labs is a technology company providing software solutions and specialist professional services to clients worldwide, primarily focused on SAP systems. Everything we do is aimed at using data-focused solutions to create better, faster, more powerful systems, to save our clients time and money. We've done this for over 42 years all over the world, and a 97% client renewal rate is part of our track record. The reasons are not surprising: we work hard, we're very good at what we do and going the extra mile for clients is standard.

We understand the functional side of SAP, so we welcome people with experience in both SAP functional and SAP technical roles. We educate our people to become masters of both.

As a Project Manager in our Project Management Office (PMO), you will have the option to learn these aspects of SAP, but will be focused on learning both our Project Management (PM) methodology (called EPI-USE Labs Kinetic, or ELK) and industry-standard ones (Activate, Prince2, Scrum, etc.) to deliver projects across multiple geographies for the range of specialised projects we offer.

For this role, we seek a professional who:

• is capable of at least one PM methodology
• is comfortable speaking to senior IT leaders about projects and change control
• has experience of working a minimum of five SAP Project lifecycles.

We'll ask this person to work across at least 2-6 live projects at any one time, depending on the nature of the projects. Projects range from a couple of weeks to several months. Some complex SLO/transformation projects may last a year or longer.

What do we value?

EPI-USE Labs people need to be self-sufficient, disciplined and outgoing people, who enjoy travel and working with a diverse set of businesses and people. These roles have enormous potential for growth in EPI-USE Labs.

Responsibilities

• Accountable for the delivery of projects from 'sales to project team handover' through to 'project-close'.
• Working in a client-facing environment with clients in multiple industries and multiple locations.
• Covering all administrative duties on projects to free up consultants' time to concentrate on technical tasks.
• Developing and managing detailed project plans, identifying project risks, developing risk registers and producing RACI models
• Accountable for delivery of documentation to customers e.g. project plans, blueprints, implementation documents, summary documents.
• Assisting with the final development of our own agile project management methodology (ELK) – acting as an 'approver'.
• Acting as a mentor to junior members of the PMO.
• Attending User Group events promoting EPI-USE Labs' PMO services.
• Building relationships with key client stakeholders.

Experience and skills required

• 5+ years working in a Project Manager role, preferably within the SAP industry.
• Experience working in an agile/PRINCE2 project environment delivering solutions/software/products.
• Must be able to work on multiple projects at once, while balancing other PMO related tasks.
• Need to be able to pick up a new agile project management methodology (ELK) quickly and with limited one-to-one training.
• Ability to work on own initiative and with limited to zero management supervision over long periods.
• A quality first approach with a good eye for detail and an appetite for documenting work.
• Ability to present effectively to clients using PowerPoint at a moment's notice.
• History of delivering small to medium-sized projects.
• Flexibility to travel globally on an ad hoc basis.
• Highly competent in Microsoft Office, i.e. Excel, Word, PowerPoint.

The following would be an advantage:

• Previous experience working with data or in a data management related role/position.
• Experience working with or exposure to any of EPI-USE Labs' software portfolio.
• Multilingual, especially Spanish, Italian, French and the Scandinavian languages.

• SAP experience within any SAP discipline e.g. Basis, HCM, MM, PP, SD, FI, ABAP.
• SAP Certified Associate – SAP Activate PM qualification or any other SAP certificates.
• Project Management memberships/associations e.g. Association for Project Management (APM)

Position

• Expected 5-10% travel to customers, although this may increase. Travel might result in being away from home Monday-Friday for periods of time.
• Hybrid or remote working will be considered for the right candidate; attendance to offices at least quarterly will be required along with attendance to any group events you are invited to.

Compensation and benefits

• Market-related salary, taking qualifications and experience into account
